单选题 According to Buffett's daughter, her father

A．is not very willing to lend her money
B．wants her to invest in the Olympic Games
C．never gives her more money than necessary
D．always makes sure that she returns his money

参考答案D

解析: 【定位】根据题干中的Buffett’s daughter可以将本题出处定位于第4段第2句。
【解析】D。由第4段第2句提到的her father lent her$20，then promptly made her write him a check可知，巴菲特通过及时让女儿给他写账单来确保女儿能还他的钱，故答案为D.。A与her father lent her$20相矛盾，故排除；巴菲特提到Olympics team，但并未说想让女儿投资，故排除B；文中提到他女儿发现自己没有交停车费的零钱，但这并不能说明巴菲特不给她多余的钱，故排除C。

单选题 Questions are based on the following passage.
When most people think of the word "education", they think of a pupil as a sort of animate (有生命的) sausage container. Into this empty container, the teachers are supposed to stuff"education".
But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the drawing out of what is in the mind.
"The most important part of education," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him."
And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selves and find the spark of truth that God has put into every heart and that only you can develop to flame."
In the dialogue called the "Meno", Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of schooling, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry -- because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should "go into" the student rather than with what should be "taken out", and how this can best be done. The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, "I spend so much time studying that I don't have a chance to learn anything," was expressing his dissatisfaction with sausage-container view of education.
He was being so stuffed with varied facts, with such an indigestible mass of material, that he had no time (and was given no encouragement) to draw on his own resources, to use his own mind for analysing and synthesizing and evaluating this material.
Education, to have any meaning beyond the purpose of creating well-informed dunces (劣学生), must elicit from the pupil what is potential in every human being -- the rules of reason, the inner knowledge of what is proper for men to be and do, the ability to assess evidence and come to conclusions that can generally be agreed on by all open minds and worm hearts.
Pupils are more like oysters (牡蛎) than sausages. The job of teaching is not to stuff them and then seal them up, but to help them open and reveal the riches within. There are pearls in each of us, if only we knew how to cultivate them with enthusiasm and insistence.
What did Socrates say about genuine education?

A．Education should draw students' attention.
B．Education demands to absorb much knowledge.
C．Education requires explicit knowledge transfer.
D．Education aims to develop students' potentials.
